Surrounded by freshwater lakes and wildlife-rich trails, this three-bedroom lakeside lodge gives six guests a relaxed base within easy reach of Dorset's best-known coastline. Families have two king-size bedrooms and a bunk room, while the open-plan living space is arranged for enjoying time together. Light colours run throughout the interior, and the lakeside setting suits quiet days as readily as trips out to the coast.
The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner forms the heart of the ground floor. To the left, the dual-aspect lounge holds an L-shaped sofa, a Smart TV, and contains board games and a wood burner, while large glass doors open to the garden. The fully integrated kitchen sits to the right beside a circular dining table, and a Bluetooth Sonos speaker is provided. A cloakroom and small coat cupboard complete this floor. On the first floor, one king-size bedroom has an en-suite shower room with WC, while the other has fitted storage space. The third bedroom has bunk beds, and the family bathroom has a shower over the bath and a WC. The landing has beanbag seating for a quiet spot to relax. The garden faces south-west, making the best of the Dorset sun with a decked area, generous seating, and a BBQ. Private parking is provided for one car, with additional spaces in the main car park. Facilities shared with other guests on the development include an outdoor pool, fitness room, tennis court, and a sauna. Guests can also swim from the private beach, hire paddleboards, or book treatments at the spa.
